For nearly half a century, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has been synonymous with unparalleled off-road prowess. Now, this legendary nameplate embarks on a groundbreaking journey into the electric era with the introduction of the all-new G 580 with EQ Technology, also known as the Electric G Wagon. This innovative vehicle not only upholds the robust legacy of the G-Class but also propels it into the future with cutting-edge electric vehicle technology, delivering impressive power and capability while minimizing environmental impact.
The electric G Wagon is engineered to conquer the most challenging terrains, just like its predecessors. It boasts a formidable powertrain featuring four individually controlled electric motors. This setup unleashes a staggering 579 horsepower and an immense 859 lb-ft of torque, providing instant and responsive power delivery crucial for demanding off-road situations. Mercedes-Benz has meticulously modified and reinforced the classic ladder frame of the G-Class to accommodate a high-capacity 116-kWh battery pack, ensuring both structural integrity and optimal weight distribution for superior off-road performance.
Continuing the G-Class tradition of dominating tough landscapes, the electric G Wagon effortlessly tackles 100% grade inclines and confidently fords water up to nearly three feet deep. To further enhance the off-road experience, the new OFF-ROAD COCKPIT presents essential driving information on a crystal-clear 12.3-inch driver display. This system keeps drivers informed and in control, even when navigating the most unpredictable environments.
Visually, the electric G Wagon retains its iconic and instantly recognizable silhouette, a design that has stood the test of time and become a symbol of off-road mastery. However, modern enhancements and refined details subtly signal its electric nature and futuristic technology. A clever reimagining of the rear door Design Box now provides practical storage for the charging cable, essential tools, or even snow chains, blending functionality with the vehicle’s distinctive design. Furthermore, the integrated Navigation with Electric Intelligence system intelligently plans the most efficient routes, proactively identifying convenient charging stops along the way, easing range anxiety and ensuring seamless journeys, both on and off the beaten path.
Adding another layer of unique character to the electric G Wagon is the G-ROAR sound experience. This innovative feature distinguishes it from other electric vehicles by generating a deep, resonant growl during acceleration, evoking the powerful auditory signature of its gasoline-powered counterparts. Through the ELECTRIC DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs, drivers can personalize their acoustic environment, choosing from a hushed “Comfort” mode for relaxed cruising or an assertive “Sport” mode to amplify the driving excitement.
For those seeking the ultimate in exclusivity and enhanced features, the EDITION ONE model of the electric G Wagon elevates the ownership experience even further. This special edition comes generously equipped with additional standard features and unique design accents. Among these highlights are captivating light projections that cast “Stronger Than Time” onto the ground, a nod to the G-Class’s enduring legacy, along with opulent MANUFAKTUR upholstery and a curated selection of exclusive paint options, allowing for a truly personalized and distinctive electric G Wagon.
The highly anticipated 2025 electric G Wagon, officially known as the Mercedes-Benz G-Class with EQ Technology, is poised to arrive at dealerships soon. This groundbreaking vehicle represents a significant leap forward, merging the legendary off-road capabilities of the G-Class with the innovative and sustainable technology of electric mobility, creating a compelling and exciting option for adventurers and automotive enthusiasts alike.
